Accountant - Client Services Team Manager Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Great Human Resource Software" January 13, 2023 5.0 It's a very useful software which helps for the HR management and leave tracking purposes. Not only that it can be used for personal goal setting and training activities too. Pros It has the option to track our goals and maintain our qualification, training , and learning which help us to keep our records up to date. In addition it has an easy process to apply for the leave and track them and get the approvals. Further the organization chart will provide the details about the organization and the relevant person whom the first tier employees need to contact for their leaves Cons The way how the organization chart presented need some updates Review Source CV Charlie V. Group Operations Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Cost-Effective HR Platform" June 22, 2023 5.0 Using Breathe has had a positive impact on our business, ensuring ease-of use and process consistency. Pros Breathe is a competitively-priced online HR platform which helps us to effectively manage documents, leave, absence and employee records. Reporting functions are easy to operate and offer valuable management information. The platform is popular with our employees and is widely used to capture and organise leave requests. Cons The process involved in setting up a new employee can be a little time-consuming, this would be easier if we could input all relevant information in one module. Review Source Response from Centurion Management Systems June 23, 2023 Thank you Charlie for your review. We're really happy to hear that using Breathe has had a positive impact on your business and your feedback regarding setting up a new employee is really valuable.

Great functionality of the system and features galore. Much more robust than our previous HR systems, it actually replaced 2 separate software's for us. Pros Robust system with all features you could ask for from a HR platform. Very good value for money and offers an all in one place solution for both time management and company HR. Also offers integration into several payroll packages. Cons I cannot think of any cons so far to be honest! Will have to do another review in another 6 months to see if that changes! Review Source DC David C. Operations Manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lets your department managers BREATHE" May 1, 2020 5.0 Overall very positive and has greatly improved efficiencies within our organisation. Pros Each employee has their own area, holiday / work related documents / review requests all held in one place. Our department managers are spending under 10 minutes a day on managing holiday / sickness. Not to mention the ability to attach company documents (all with read receipts) Cons Live chat assistance is permanently in the corner - unable to change this setting. Reason for choosing Breathe Free trial - lots of future planned additions. Review Source Response from Centurion Management Systems May 5, 2020 David, Thank you so much for your review, we really appreciated you taking the time to review our product and thank you for your 5 star review.

Data Protection Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Functional HR System" October 9, 2020 3.0 It is a good basic tool for Employee records, but getting data back out can be cumbersome Pros It is relatively simple to navigate the system and complete tasks quickly using the it's basic interface Cons It needs updating. There is no drag and drop functionality, integration with Office 365 or CRM and data cannot be exported en masses. Review Source PS Paul S. Maintenance Engineer Plastics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for employers and employees" July 22, 2022 5.0 Breathe is an excellent software every company should have . Pros Vey easy to use , can monitor staffs time keeping ect , keeping track of holidays and other functions such as company policies . Cons I cant fault Breathe , very good , very simple for all users . Review Source Sally P. Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great HR platform for growing businesses" June 1, 2016 5.0 We found BreatheHR when we were about 20 staff and it's been a godsend, it meant we could move on from holiday spreadsheets and it made us so much more organised with personnel files but those were only the basic things we were trying to 'fix', in reality lots of other benefits came with it - our team love the 'kudos' feature which mean they can say thanks / well done to each other, and we use it to help communicate business critical documents to all staff - our team have take much more responsibility for their own information and now they can access things like remaining holiday days whenever they want. Pros There are lots but in general this has given us a professionalism in our HR administration that we simply didn't have before at a cost that's a real no brainer. Cons Can't think of any, but if anything you do only get out of it what you put in so if you don't engage your staff in it and use the various features then it won't be so useful. Review Source RH Rich H. HR Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Avoid" October 2, 2023 1.0 They illegally charged my account after cancelling their poor restrictive platform. I have emailed for resolution or explanation and been ignored. \[sensitive content hidden\] will promise the earth but ignore you once signed up. If you are lucky he will tell you its nothing to do with him and to contact another person in hope you tire out. The business model seems to be sign you up and give you a convoluted cancellation process to prevent cancellation. However that is not how the law of transactions work. I informed them i planned to raised a dispute. I was still ignored. I have now raised a dispute with my bank and will endeavour to spread the word of my experience as far and wide as I can to protect small independent operators being fleeced.I don't expect a representative to reach out as it s not how they operate. Pros The sales call promised to deliver but ultimately it was not designed or suitable for our industry. they were not honest about that with us. Cons Restrictive, Unhelpful, zero support, zero customer service Reason for choosing Breathe Miss-sold Review Source BG Benjamin G. Private Practice Administrator Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Intuitive and Effective" April 18, 2024 5.0 Very positive. From a user perspective I can't seen ay reason to change for something else. Pros Very clear and logical layout, made it easy to track who was off when so making sure there were enough staff at any time was guaranteed. You could book off specific hours and periods, which is useful for appointments and carrying leave over, with no time getting wasted. Cons We only used it for booking leave and tracking absence, and I couldn't imagine a way to improve it. Perhaps other features aren't as sound, but I can't comment on those. Review Source JM Jamie M. Managing Consultant Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Smooth and manageable with seamless integration and user learn time minimum." April 12, 2023 5.0 Smooth, minimal learn time, east to integrate systems with, easy to manage staff through it. Pros Managing expenses is so easy which can sometimes be a very difficult task. So when you simply log all the details, you could probably log an expense in less than a minute. Which I really appreciate. Cons I think there would be more options in the expenses categories and the diary view can be a bit blocky given modern standards of design however, if is very functional which is much more important over design.

It includes so many features for its pricepoint. Its UI is easy to use and the featureset is constantly expanding. Their support team is fabulous and answers our minimal questions very fast and with ease. Review Source Response from Centurion Management Systems March 4, 2019 Thank you very much for your comments Alison. FM Fiona M.

January 22, 2018 4.0 I would certainly consider it for a smaller company, perhaps as their first HR or self serve system Pros VERY user friendly, easy to set up, good for employees to use and navigation is obvious. It can cope with multiple currencies which is a benefit for more global orgs. There is a new recruitment module which I believe is a great addition Cons I struggled with the Performance Management/Appraisal approach - hopefully this will be their next target Review Source JW Jeremy W. HR Lead Philanthropy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A very good system for small organisations less than 250." February 13, 2018 5.0 Pros Good integration with third party systems like Rota Cloud and Safety Cloud. Very good support including self service for managers and staff. Cons One size fits all system - so you have to accept some fields may not meet you specific needs. As with all IT systems, managers and staff will need help or training how to use the system and apps. Review Source CF Cole F. Developer Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great HR service for tracking holiday" June 16, 2022 5.0 Pros You can see a calendar that shows holiday for everyone in the company. This makes it easy to know who is off in any given week. Leave requests are easy and have to be approved by a manager. Cons The courses and files sections are complicated to use. Review Source TK Tracy K. General Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: ### "Fantastic Time Saver" December 11, 2018 5.0 Although new to breatheHR we have found it is extremely intuitive and straight forward to set up. The support documents are so very helpful and informative and if you do not find your answers there the support team are always on hand. Pros Easy to use, fully functional. Our users are love being able to submit their requests any time from any device. breatheHR Support are amazing! Here is to a lot less admin in 2019 and beyond. Cons There is nothing we have found that we do not like about breatheHR. The only con is now finding something else to do with all the free admin time! Review Source Natasha H. Used the software for: ### "Making HR a breeze" November 22, 2016 4.0 Using Breathe has made managing the logistics of sick time and vacations very easy and all of the other features like Kudos and document sharing are a bonus! Review Source Response from Centurion Management Systems March 4, 2019 Thank you so much for your comments Natasha. LA Laura A. Senior Systems Analyst Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very User Friendly" May 21, 2019 5.0 Breathe has been recently implemented within our business and has made our HR process an easier area to deal with. Pros It is very easy to navigate round, it is also very simple to book holidays. Cons The format on some of the older internet tools (for example internet explorer) can cause the forms to not load correctly. Perfect on all other internet platforms. Review Source Response from Centurion Management Systems May 22, 2019 Laura, Thank you so much for your feedback, we really appreciate people taking the time to say what they like, as well as areas that may not be quite perfect right now. We take all feedback on board and we will be looking at the issue on Internet explorer as soon as we can. Thanks again. All the best Carl CE Christine Edens Used the software for: ### "Great product, great price" May 2, 2013 5.0 We have been using BreatheHR for about 5 months now and are completely happy with the system. It is easy to use - I never get queries from employees, and is a fantastic price. I have seen my previous employers spend up to £50k on fancy systems, that too cumbersome, with many features left unused. BreatheHR is nice and simple and covers the vast majority of our requirements. Pros \* price \* constant improvement & development \* good customer service \* easy to use \* easy to implement Cons If you're lookign for an all singing, all dancing HR system which includes recruitment, payroll, training etc then this product isn't for you. Review Source tN tabitha N. head of compliance and central services Philanthropy Used the software for: ### "Excellent " October 17, 2017 4.0 Pros Free for Charity, allows Holiday and leave to be calculated in hours and flexes for part time shift pattern workers. Cons I am finding the adding of each shift pattern quite time consuming. I also find it frustrating that the recruitment section does not seem to tell you an overview of how to use it, but you almost have to post something to work it out. I am sure there are instructions somewhere, but yet to find it. Review Source CD Caryn D. Physician Assistant Farming Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy Software" July 7, 2018 4.0 Pros support staff is great- very helpful, easy to get a hold of. program integrates well with our other databases Cons Initial training to get the ball rolling, but then it gets easier from there, may not meet the specific needs Review Source AL Angus L.
